Well, he is liking his new stage in the company, in which he is now checking aspects of alliances for films, something that we already saw with Illumination Studios and now sony for the live action of Zelda.

Here are his words:

More than retiring, I'm thinking about the day I fall. Nowadays you have to think about things in five years, so I think about who I can pass things to, in case something happens.

I'm really grateful that there's so much energy around the things I've worked on. These are things that have already gone out into the world… they've been grown by others, other people have been raising them, helping them grow, so in that sense I don't feel much ownership over them anymore.

Editor's note: The day Miyamoto leaves Nintendo, many of us will be sad with the news, but we must also consider that almost all the games the company makes do not really have him involved. So, for now we are happy having him as the ambassador of the films.
